Constable accuses ASP of abuse, harassment

Udaipur: In a major development in the Tejaram Devasi case (a cattle raiser from Pali, who was arrested and presently in jail over charges under NDPS Act), a constable attached with the police line has given a written complaint against additional SP (rural) Mukesh Sankhla for using abusive language and causing mental harassment. He also said Tejaram was tortured by the ASP at a police station last month. Tejaram’s Devasi community has been holding protests for his release and action against Udaipur cops for framing a false case against the poor man.

The constable, Babulal s/o Kanaram Jat, gave a written complaint at the Surajpole station on Wednesday wherein he referred to an audio recording which had gone viral on social media some days ago. The constable, in his complaint, said that the senior officer was pressurising him to give false evidence against a circle inspector Sumer Singh so as to put the inspector in a bad light for having taken Rs 25 lakh from Tejaram to let him scot free in the NDPS case.
